What do I "need" now?

it was around seven years ago when I decided I should get a few pedals together.
Up until this point id used and moved on an OC2, FX25, Small Stone, a
Boss multi unit and a Sovtek green muff but hadn't actually used or indeed owned any pedals in a good while.
So, long story short, here we are now :
Behringer Tuner (Boss rip off) > Cog effects Hellraiser (which is basically OD/dist, fuzz and analog octave up/down) > Boss OC2 > Iron Ether Oxide > Zvex Mastotron > Moog MF 102 Ring Mod > Moog MF 101 Filter with MP 201 expression pedal/controller > Boss CEB 3 chorus > TC Flashback
I've been gobbling off all day telling mates that finally Ive completed my board... BUT (you knew there was a but coming right??) I have a nagging feeling somewhere in my gut....
What else would you say I need ? For the main band I'm in believe it or not, I seldom use fx but in my "supergroup" role ( lol ) I go to town. Grimy DnB, hardcore funk, Dubstep and general experimentation is the order of the day and I'm constantly tap dancing, I love it!!!
As I've written this post I've already thought of a bit reducer but what about you guys? Any ideas??
Thanks amigos

One Love x

I don't think you have enough fuzz. :D

Flanger and/or phaser, maybe?

More fuzz? Ok! Anything particular in mind?
As far as phase goes, I just sold my Small Stone actually, never used it. The slow 'phase' I get from my MP 201's triangle wave LFO into my LPF when the clock tempo is set real slow and the filter set at 20hz is AWESOME tho :D
Had never really considered a flanger if I'm honest...

Well, I was being facetious about the fuzz, but I don't see anything muff-based on there (though i'm not familiar with the COG).

Flanger is actually my favorite modulation, particularly when set slow...gives depth and movement without being super obvious. Then there are of course the more obvious applications (e.g. Tool).

Yeh I gotcha buddy, my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek when I answered.
The Cogs fuzz section is that of the Grand Tarkin, which is a muff based fuzz.
Have you tried the classic Boss BF2 is it?

My first flanger was a BF2B, and it was great. I highly recommend it. I've gone through a couple of others (TC Electronics, Empress), but the sound I wind up trying to emulate with them is that which I was getting with the Boss. Their pedals can be a mixed bag, but they really got it right with that one, classic, intuitive, and is reasonably quiet.
